Here's the fight video of Luana Santos vs Stephanie Egger from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. This fight was added when this show was moved from Shanghai to Las Vegas. Luana is 23 years old from Sao Paulo, Brazil. Her coach is Lucas Minero. Luana won her UFC debut by KO but she is mainly a BJJ whiz. She missed weight because of the short notice. Stephanie is 35 years old from Switzerland. She trains at Buddy Gym. She is 3-3 in the UFC. Both fighters trained at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento in an attempt to improve their striking. So both fighters are wary of the other taking it to the ground. As a result, a lot of this fight is clinching on the fence. It got really bad in the third round. Herb Dean had to break them up a couple of times. I thought Luana won the first two rounds with more effective striking. And it's not that she's that good but Stephanie is really bad. When Luana returned to her corner after round two, her corner told her that she won the first two rounds and she could take it easy in round three. So she was defensive and didn't do much and Stephanie won round three. So I scored the fight 29-28 for Luana. Two judges scored it the same and the third scored it 30-27 for Luana. So Luana won by unanimous decision. Obviously I would like to see her face better competition. Enjoy the video!
